Summary :

This paper proposes a microstrip patch antenna for 2.45 GHz Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications. To enhance the front-to-back ratio (F/B) and specific absorption rate (SAR), an electrically coupled LC resonator is introduced. The overall dimensions of the proposed antenna are 54 mm45 mm2.4 mm and it has a gain of over 1 dBi for the entire 2.45 GHz ISM band. The proposed antenna has an enhanced F/B ratio and specific absorption rate, compared with those of a conventional patch antenna.
